Came here for happy hour and was not disappointed. The happy hour menu had lots of great selections and variety and we ended up ordering way more than we anticipated. Everything came out hot and was fantastic. My faves were the kale caesar (still dreaming about it), pretzel with cheese, and duck fries (not happy hour but super worth it). We had a great meal and can't wait to come back :)

Hi, LThe customer…read moreservice was average; the waitress appeared uncomfortable due to the heat, and our table was not checked on frequently. At times, we had to walk around looking for napkins ourselves. Regarding the food, my family and I ordered burgers, fries, wedge salad, and chicken wings. Unfortunately, the burgers lacked flavor, and the meat seemed plain and of lower quality. The wedge salad tasted unusually salty, which might be due to my preference for chicken as protein. On a positive note, the beer was excellent--perfectly refreshing for a hot day.The beers were great and refreshing. order #7 IPA, best beer there. The atmosphere was enjoyable as we sat outside, appreciating the weather and the lively surroundings. Overall, I would rate our experience a 5 out of 10. I hope this feedback is helpful for improving your service and food quality.

This type of burger is my go-to and I wasn't disappointed. So good and I didn't even request most bbq sauce because it was flavorful enough and not dry (like others make it). My friend got the grilled fish tacos and enjoyed them. Looked delicious and he was satisfied. We were seated quickly at the bar to watch the playoffs and all the servers were checking on us pretty regularly. We were well taken care of. Excellent place to go all around and we will come back when we're back in the area.

Side Gate has different food trucks every night so there's a chance that La Kura may not be there on the day you go. But I think they are there on Wednesdays. Anyway, Side Gate is awesome.

I didn't try any but I liked how everything was within the beer garden parameters. I didn't get the beer this time around (except for a sip from a friend's glass) but I had the smash burger with a side salad and I really enjoyed the food, just wish the patty edges were crunchier; other than that, I loved how this fit into my lazy Sunday agenda!

We asked for sugar and condiments finally had to leave the table and go to a work station to obtain the items. Our food server dripped attitude probably because he was so busy, and it was evident given his shorts and footwear enabled him to run from table to table. The food runners and bussers were difficult to understand. The 4th Bore is there primarily for the local Orinda people who are fawned over. If you're not a local don't waste your time.

The menu rotates maybe every few months, I'm not sure the frequency. One time I came and had some health issues where I had to eat a salad and so I ordered the salad and I was so sad about it. And it was seriously one of the most delicious salads I have ever tasted. My 8 year old daughter ordered empanadas and it was so good. The fries are also delicious every time. The last time we went, we had ghost pepper chicken wings. The person taking our order warned us it was super spicy and he struck me as the type who could handle spice. It was so spicy, sweat and tears and sinus clearance, which is the kind of spice I chase. It was wonderful. The seating area is completely outdoors and there is live music sometimes. Very dog and kid friendly and there's ample seating every time we have come even when it's busy. All the food hits every time, as well as the beer and the service. Highly recommend.

Firstly, I love GT and really enjoy their beer and visiting their taprooms. Full disclosure I'm a former professional brewer so I take beer VERY seriously! I've also worked in the service industry and understand that role. I know sh*t happens and I typically extend grace but if you know craft beer like I do you know when there's a great batch of something you love, there's nothing else like it and you will DRIVE to get it. Hop profiles shift, strike temps can differ, water chemistry varies, salts do only so much so a great batch is a great batch!! My issue is simple, when I order and pay for beer online for pickup, I expect that my beer will be there at the scheduled time. This is the second occasion that this has happened at this location, thus me writing this review. I don't have to tell anyone how rough it is driving through Bay Area traffic to pick up an order in another city and finding out once you arrive that your item isn't there. In this instance the beer-tender was extremely nonchalant and almost flippant so of course I left with a level of frustration that didn't just go away. What happened to accommodations when situations like this happen, ya know a small discount on the beer that I end up buying as a replacement. Telling me my card was refunded and you tried to call me when I have no voicemail from you isn't it. Surely my inconvenience deserves some sort of nod of acknowledgment. Overall it's an experience that leaves a bad taste, an off flavor if you will! I hope no one else encounters this and that my experiences are one-offs but I personally have very little faith that what I buy from this location will actually be there upon arrival. Better to just buy it on the spot since the convenience of ordering online doesn't seem to work out!
